The Black Eyed Peas – Let’s Get It Started

For anyone looking for the perfect track to ring in the New Year, I recommend a signature song by the Black Eyed Peas.

Released in June 2003 by the American group, this track is loved worldwide as an anthem that boldly declares the start of the party.

The group’s distinctive rap and catchy melody blend seamlessly, giving a powerful push to the beginning of a new year.

Winning a Grammy in 2005, this song has a universal appeal that resonates with people of all ages and nationalities.

It’s also perfect as background music for New Year’s parties or gatherings with friends.

June in JanuaryBing Crosby

Bing Sings “June in January”

A classic that sings of a warm love that defies winter’s chill.

Bing Crosby’s gentle voice makes January feel as warm as June.

Recorded on November 9, 1934 with George Stoll and his orchestra, it became a number-one hit on Decca Records.

Featured in the film “Here Is My Heart,” the song later became a popular standard covered by many artists.

It’s perfect as background music for time spent with someone special in early January, just after the New Year.

Its heartwarming melody and lyrics will make you feel the promise of a happy start to the year.

JanuaryDisclosure feat. Jamie Moon

January

A collaboration between the British dance music duo Disclosure and fellow UK singer-songwriter Jamie Moon, titled “January”! It’s a track where a four-on-the-floor dance beat carries Moon’s stylish vocals.

It’s incredibly danceable, so I’d say this is a January song you’ll want to listen to in style when you feel like dancing!

Mariah Carey – Auld Lang Syne (The New Year’s Anthem, Fireworks Version)

Mariah Carey is a globally renowned R&B singer who rose to fame in the 1990s and again in the mid-2000s.

With songs like “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and “Hero,” most people have surely heard her music at least once.

Her “Auld Lang Syne (The New Year’s Anthem, Fireworks Version)” is a cover of the Scottish folk song “Auld Lang Syne” (known in Japan as “Hotaru no Hikari”), featuring an arrangement that differs greatly in mood from the original.

It all comes down to one phrase: an overwhelming, breathtaking voice.

When winter rolls around, Titanic is often broadcast on terrestrial TV, and this is the song that plays during that truly enchanting, famous scene.

Even though it wasn’t written for the film, it’s so well-known that the visuals and the song inevitably come to mind together.
